A Barber and a Laborer Win Big Prize in
The Louisiana State Lottery.
Zacharias Messenger is barber who
has pursued his trade OF scalping chins
and clipping hair at 315 Bush street
for some two or three years past He has
during that time had the honor of ex-
ercising his tonsorial art upon the
caput and physiognomy of Boss Buck
ley and in consequence has enioyed
the patronage of the followers of the
great Bush street statesman. His
trade was a good one and afforded him
good living, but nothing more, and
he has endeavored to increase his store
of gold by wooing the tickle Goddess
Of Fortune by investing in lottery
tickets. He paid his addresses more
particularly to the good dame who
presides over the drawings of The
Louisiana State Lottery and has held
one or two coupons nearly every draw
ing during the last three wears. As

good luck and has nearly alwavs won
enough to give him a small profit, so

he passed the Chronicle office he saw
by the bulletin board that ticket 67 ,O60
had drawn the capital prize of Sl50.000.
He knew that his ticket was 1000
and something and he rushed home to
get it. His delight can be imagined
when he found that he held a coupon
of the winning ticket, which entitled
him to $4,000. He went down to his
shop, presented each of his assistants
with a suit of clothes, made arrange
